FS: Reblued S&W Heavy Duty 38/44 in 38 Special, with a 5" barrel. S/N is S72194, which puts it around 1947-1948. This is a transition gun, with the humpback hammer and pre-war long action, making a rather scarce gun, if it was in original condition. Gun has been reblued over some surface wear/pitting. It didn't show very well in the pictures with flash so I took pictures without it to try to show the finish wear. Nothing awful, but they are there. Hammer and trigger were reblued as well. Bore is good. Grips are more modern magnas that have been re-varnished and show wear.

If you are looking for a collector grade gun, this isn't it. Would make a great shooter, or base gun for a conversion (41 Spec, 44 Spec, 45 Colt, etc..)

Asking $675, shipped to your FFL or C&R.

First "I'll take it" email to me at bigbore45colt @ ptd.net (remove the space in front of and after the @) gets it. Payment by USPS Money Order or certified funds. I am going to list this on a few other places, to maximize exposure. If unsold after a few days, I may take it to auction.

Thanks for looking!
